problem solving, research, creating a valid argument, and critical thinking. After you
choose your topic, you will write an argumentative style paper regarding your topic. This

Paper – Part # 1
Ban on Big Retail in Small Towns?
After reading the credible and non-credible resources I determined to use the following
four sources to use for my argumentative paper.
Horgan, C. (2017). Retail revolution: should cities ban chain stores? The Guardian.
Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/apr/20/fight-independentsshould-cities-ban-chain-stores-toronto
This article is credible because the source is a newspaper article and it provide me the
facts and details about how local businesses are being affected by the big retail chain
stores in small community-based towns.
Cox, J. (2011). A look at the communities that booted the big box- Keizertimes
Retrieved from https://archive.keizertimes.com/2011/02/22/a-look-at-the-communitiesthat-booted-the-big-box/
This article is from a weekly community newspaper and dated in 2011 which is a good
credible source and under good date. This article provides me clear information how
small town named Turlock could rules against the big box stores and plan to keep its
community-based grocers alive.
Semuels, A. (2018). A Small Town Kept Walmart Out. Now it Faces Amazon. The Atlantic.
Retrieved from https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/03/amazon-localretail/554681/ . This article is also a newspaper based from the business section and its
credible source published in 2018. I chose this article because it is providing me depth
details and fresher looks on the ban of such big retail in small towns. Since this article
was recently published, I will be able to gather details of how a small town kept pushing
big retails out of its community for almost 25 years.
Howland, D. (2015). Banning ‘sameness’: How retailers can work with cities’ chain-store
restrictions. Retail Dive. Retrieved from https://www.retaildive.com/news/banningsameness-how-retailers-can-work-with-cities-chain-store-restric/388183/.
This article is from a credible source known as Retail Drive published in 2015. This
article further describes the depth scenario of retail market that could successfully survive
along with Mom-and-pop types of retails stores in small towns. I will be taking details of
how town council approve and limit the setting up retails in small towns.
